Chin-Chin in the News – Orpheum Theatre – York, PA

28 May 1920 – York, PA

Vaudeville/Chin-Chin
By Don Taylor

My grandmother was a vaudeville star and I am following her career, trying to learn of her many performances. In October 1919, she joined the cast of the Charles Dillingham production of “Chin-Chin” “Chin-Chin” played across the US and Canada until June 1920. I monitor several newspaper services watching for new venues that the show played at while she was a cast member.

This week’s entries are from The Evening Sun (Hanover, PA) on May 25^th, 26^th, and 27^th and come via (Newspapers.Com).
